- These exercises refer to the following system: If we add 2 times the first equation to the second equation. The second equation becomes _______=____.arrow_forwardWrite an application problem similar to Example 4.14. Then translate to a system of equations and solve it.arrow_forwardUse the system of three equations in three variables to solve each problem. Work schedules A college student earns 198.50 per week working three part-time jobs. Half of his 30-hour work week is spent cooking hamburgers at a fast-food chain, earning 5.70 per hour. In addition, the student earns 6.30 per hour doing janitorial work. How many hours per week does the student work at each jobarrow_forward
- Write a uniform motion problem similar to Example 5.42 that relates to where you live with your friends or family members. Then translate to a system of equations and solve it.arrow_forwardUse the system of three equations in three variables to solve each problem. Investment income A women invested at 22,000 rollover IRA account in three banks paying 5, 6 and 7 annual interest. She invested 2000 more at 6 than at 5. The total annual interest she earned was 1370. How much did she invest at each rate?arrow_forwardTranslate to a system of equations and solve: Anatole needs to make 250 milliliters of a 25% solution of hydrochloric acid for a lab experiment. The lab only has a 10% solution and a 40% solution in the storeroom. How much of the 10% and how much of the 40% solutions should he mix to make the 25% solution?arrow_forward
- What is a system of linear equations in the variables x, y, and z?arrow_forwardLast year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%. If the price of last year's Jeep was $7,000 less than the price of last year's BMW, what was the price of each of the three cars last year?arrow_forwardTranslate to a system of equations and then solve: Erin spent 30 minutes on the rowing machine and 20 minutes lifting weights at the gym and burned 430 calories. During her next visit to the gym she spent 50 minutes on the rowing machine and 10 minutes lifting weights and burned 600 calories. How many calories did she burn for each minutes on the rowing machine? How many calories did she burn for each minute of weight lifting?arrow_forward
- For a system of two linear equations in two variables, aHow many solutions are possible? bWhat is meant by an inconsistent system? cWhat is meant by a dependent system?arrow_forwardTranslate to a system of equations: A couple has a total household income of $84,000. The husband earns $18,000 less than twice what the wife earns.How much does the wife earn?arrow_forwardTranslate to a system of equations and solve: A science center sold 1,363 tickets on a busy weekend. The receipts totaled $12,146. How many $12 adult tickets and how many $7 child tickets were sold?arrow_forward
